Muay Thai Fighter

I worked a video shoot today for a Muay Thai Instructional DVD. I had my new 1D MKIIn with me so I asked if I could shoot a few pics. I used my 430EX with an umbrella under Flourescent lights and an open door with natural light streaming in from the left. I don't do portraits at all so I thought I'd post to receive some comments. the WB still looks a little off to me but I can't seem to get it right.

Great shot. He looks serious too...yikes! :S

Nice.
A little light bounced into his face/chest may have helped.

wow, that guy is really ripped for a Muay Thai fighter. Does he just do stand up, or does he do MMA?

his eyes is full with combative...
his muscle is so burly...
great shoot......

Looks great to me!

Would not want to make him mad

Excellent pic! Wouldn't want to piss him off!

Great shot. Very strong mood comes across.

Great shot. That six pack lies somewhere under a few layers of fat on me too.

Have you tried to play with this as B&W. No WB issues then I think it's a great capture of a strong subject. It doesn't always have to be perfect. Well done!!

Had a play with it. Just thought I'd show what it looks like in B&W with a touch of sepia.

I like it best in color, not enough contrast between the wall and his skin for my taste...White in the first photo appears ok on my screen,,,in looking at the white in his shorts..

Nice shot! I like it in color.

I like both shots and I think the little bit of shadows looks good and accentuates his muscles tone. I also agree the background is bit distracting, but a great shot overall.. Lets see more!!
